Postcode Database V2 updated

As a few people have pointed out in the comments there was an error in the initial release of the V2 postcode database, the suburb data had been lost along the way.

I’ve fixed the problem and updated the bzip2 and gzip files. I’ve also removed the mssql version as it never worked anyway. I’m not sure if the problem affects the csv version and I don’t have time to look at it now.

Have you still got your MSSQL script. I could try fixing it and getting it to work. I’m interested in the Rural codes which arn’t in the CSV. If I get the script working I will return to you for posting on this site. Cheers.

Great resource. I have noticed a couple of issues in it though, and was wondering if you are planning to do an update.

Specifically, some suburbs in multiple cities have the wrong city for the postcode. Eg – Glenfield Rd, Hillcrest (line 14167 in the CSV) has postcode 0627, which is correct, but the “matched address” shows as being in Rotorua, which is incorrect. It should be North Shore.

Reason I hit this issue is that I need the city data separate, and in spliting it out saw some suburbs in odd cities. 🙂
